Visual Master Class Series - Sketch Noting Essentials

Too much content and not enough connection. This is what could be said about many of our virtual and even in-person meetings. Connection is what we crave as humans. We can create connection through story, and story, through visuals. When you bring visuals into your notes and meetings, everyone's brain lights up. People lean in, become curious, and become more active participants.

In this hands-on masterclass with visual strategist Tim Hamons, you will learn how to transform written or verbal ideas and messages into compelling visual summaries. The core benefit of sketchnoting is whole-brain engagement

You will learn how to summarize messages into visual narratives for yourself and your audience, explore various layouts, visual frameworks, and keys to sketchnoting, and create your own sketchnote. You will learn the keys to being a better listener and how to look for the visual narrative. You will build on your learning through practical exercises and will receive invaluable feedback from Tim and your peers through collaborative exercises throughout the evening.

Whether you are a manager, educator, researcher, facilitator, content creator, coach, or consultant, visual sketchnoting will help you organize and clarify your thinking, and will impact and inspire the participants in your meetings and presentations.
